Masterlist (previous parts on Masterlist)

Your head was throbbing as you rolled over and groaned into your pillow. The events of earlier replayed in the front of your mind and you frowned, not daring yet to open your eyes yet as you cringed at yourself for how you reacted. It was going fine up until it had a temper tantrum about a needle. Well it was deeper than the needle but you were too busy wallowing to think about it.

A small cough caught your attention as you peeked open one of your eyes and moved your face out of the comfort of being buried within your pillow. Tony Stark was stood by your door way in his usual smart get up of a suit, you had no idea why he always dressed so formal but you thought it was probably part of his power trip from being Iron Man.

“Good morning bumpy, sleep well?” The sarcasm was dripping in his voice as he crossed his arms giving you a pointed look. “If this keeps happening I’m going to run out of tranquillisers” you scoffed at his comment and reached up to touch the place in your neck where you felt the dart but no mark or sign of it remained.

Tony approached your bed and sat himself down on the end of it once you had quickly moved your feet towards your chest, now sitting up and placing your chin over your knees. Tony shuffled slightly and turned his body towards you, his posture softening in a way that reminded you of a father comforting their child after a nightmare. It made your heart yearn for days when your father would comfort you.

“You know, you can trust us here right? We aren’t going to pump you full of god knows what we just want to understand what’s going on here” Tony moved his hand up and down to refer to your whole body.

Your face remained unchanging as you blankly stared at him not quite sure what he was gaining out of this experience.

“If you don’t tell me what’s the issue and just keep looking at me like I’m a statue then we aren’t going to get anywhere kid, I can’t help you and you can’t help well... yourself” this made your eyebrows furrow at Tony’s words, they held a certain kindness in them as well as a fatherly scolding and it almost made you want to smile. Maybe Tony Stark wasn’t on as much as a power trip as you thought.

“Okay” you nodded and bit your lip “I don’t want you to take my blood and do tests or whatever - not yet anyway - it freaks me out I need to trust you first” Tony seemed surprised at your sudden co operation and gave you a small smile.

“And how do we gain your trust then?”

“I hate this room” Tony put his hand over his heart in fake shock at your words which made you roll your eyes but a small smile played at your mouth. “I don’t want to be in it anymore it - it brings back too many bad memories” the more you spoke around Tony the more comfortable you found yourself.

“Hmm, on one hand the human earthquake no longer freaks out and destroys my very expensive lab however that same teenager will be walking the halls of my home and able to probably find me in my sleep - or there lack of” Tony pretended to weigh up the options but he already knew that if he had enough protocols and applied a precaution programme to FRIDAY there was no need for the holding cell. The kid seemed to just be going through a rough time.

“Fine” Tony spoke and had to hold back his own smile as you grinned at him, finally looking more your age as delight shone in your eyes. Tony realised how much older you normally looked with the dead and glassy look you usually held. “But just for safety, a couple of rules AND you can only go where I tell you, secret rooms and labs are off limit” you nodded eagerly as Tony spoke desperate to maybe after all these years have a proper bathroom and bedroom, sit on a coach and maybe watch TV, finally feel an ounce of normal.

“Let’s go for a tour then, brush your teeth”.

As Tony walked you around the avengers facility you couldn’t keep your mouth closed, it remained open in shock at just how huge and high tech it was, the worlds technology had seemed to move on in leaps and bounds since you’d been hidden away.

Turning the corner to the kitchen a young boy with curly brown hair and a strong jawline walked out holding a pack of gummy worms. You studied him for a moment and realised he looked around your age, probably still in school, and he looked tired like he hadn’t slept in a while. He had an aura around him you found familiar and comforting and so you had a soft smile on your face as you studied him which Tony noticed and smirked at.

Peter felt something watching him with his “Peter tingle” as May called it and so he glanced out the corner of his eye and saw Tony with a smaller figure stood next to him. Peter turned his head to get a better look and then saw you stood behind him seemingly more relaxed than he had yet seen you with a soft smile on your face making Peter smile back at you. That was until he realised he was out of his suit.

You saw the young boys eyes widen in shock as he stumbled back, dropping his gummy worms literally everywhere, and he dove back into the kitchen with a small mutter of curses making you and Tony stifle a laugh.

“Peter, come out here and meet y/n” Tony’s amusement was still rich in his voice as he patted your shoulder and bought you to the kitchen doorway where Peter stood wide eyed with pink dusted cheeks and a sheepish smile. “This is the girl that’s been causing all the noise recently” there was something different about Tony’s voice as he spoke almost an amusement you couldn’t place as he introduced you to the attractive teenager.

“Uh hi I’m Peter” that voice. You’d heard that before as it whispered to you to calm you down. It clicked into place almost immediately as you may have missed years of school but you were no idiot and training to be a HYDRA spy had taught you to match up clues. Peter was the same height and build as Spider-Man as well as looking 18, the age he told you he was the day before, and also sounded exactly like him. You were surprised not many people knew his secret identity from how easily you just figured it out.

“Spider-Man?” You smirked as the two men gaped at you with wide eyes, Peter’s mouth opening and closing in shock.

“W-what? Me? Spider-Man? No no I’m just a Uh intern” Peter’s face was beet red as he looked between you and Tony for help which he wasn’t receiving.

“I mean it’s kind of obvious bug boy” Peter continued to gape at you but his heart raced increased at your nickname for him.

“I prefer bug man actually” Peter mumbled still trying to process how you had figured it out within a second of Peter speaking.

“Well bug boy can you show bumpy here to her room, it’s the one below yours with the protocol” and at that Tony basically waltzed away from you both.

“Don’t worry I won’t well I can’t tell anyone about y’know who you are” you looked at your hands as you spoke, slightly nervous to be left alone with Peter especially now you knew how attractive he was under that mask.

“Um it’s okay, I’m not exactly great at hiding it, my friend MJ worked it out as well so yeah” Peter tried not to make you feel bad as he knew that the more comfortable you were the less chance there was of another incident happening. Peter also secretly wanted you to feel comfortable around him in general because he was interested in you.. in a scientific way only totally just superhero intrigue.

As Peter walked you to your new room he told you more about himself, he seemed to understand that you didn’t want to talk much yet and he happily filled the gap allowing you to learn more about him. He spoke about his Aunt, who he adored, and her not so great cooking, he also spoke about his friends from school and how there’s this one guy called Flash who kind of annoys him and calls him names to which you offered to beat him up. Peter couldn’t tell if you were being serious with that one but he’s pretty sure you were and made a mental note to never let you near Flash.

By the time you were at your room and Peter had finished watching you gush over how beautiful it was with its large bed on a platform and marble bathroom, which Peter found adorable, you were exhausted, but you were enjoying the company of Peter too much to hide yourself in your room just yet.

“Um-could you stay with me for a while just to y’know help me settle in” you looked at your hands at you spoke that we’re intertwined in front of you, a habit Peter had picked up you did when nervous or uncomfortable.

“Yea, of course, always” Peter smiles warmly at you and sat at the edge of your excessively large bed whilst you got comfortable and leaned against the head board.

“You don’t have to sit at the end you look really awkward” You smiles at him and patted the space next to you. Peter shuffled down and mirrored your position against the head board.

“What’s it like? Roaming the streets and using your powers to help people?” Your voice was small and Peter noticed this situation made you more vulnerable as you simply sat next to him in your bed looking like a normal teenage girl, no handcuffs, no hospital gown and no blood and dirt covering your body.

“I mean I love it’s great, it’s tiring balancing it with school but if I don’t help people who will ya know?” Peter looked proud when he spoke about what he did, his eyes lit up and he sat a little straighter and you realised you had made a wrong judgement about the avengers - well at least about Peter - when you were with HYDRA, they were no where near as bad. You don’t think Peter had a bad bone in his body.

“You could do that someday, go out there and use whatever powers you have to help people, earth really needs all the help it can get recently” you laughed softly at that as you recalled the attack on New York as well as the multiple other alien threats alone that have swarmed Earth.

“Maybe” Peter’s heart grew fonder at your words, knowing you wanted to use your powers for good showed you weren’t the weapon HYDRA made you. The reality was that you did want to use your powers for good, if you were going to be stuck with them might as well make a change but you knew it could never happen. As long as HYDRA held him there was nothing you could do.

Peter noticed the sad and far away look in your eyes and wanted to know the story behind it, what they did to you there and he wanted to help but he knew tonight wasn’t the night so instead he opted to ask if you wanted to watch a film.

“Yea, I’m several years behind on pop culture though so I think you should choose the film” Peter laughed at that and asked FRIDAY to put on Star Wars The Force Awakens.

“Wait, do you have no clue what’s been going on for the past few years?” Peter had a look on his face you couldn’t quite read as you slowly shook your head.

“Only a few bits mainly alien attacks and that”

“Do you know who is president?” Peter looked like an excited puppy but also mildly worried as he asked the question.

“No? Isn’t it Obama?” Peter groaned at your answer and yelled out an I wish.

“ITS DONALD TRUMP” at this you also yelled out knowing exactly who Peter was talking about.

“I want to go back into hiding now” you joked and Peter laughed at that, throwing his head back slightly and his eyes wrinkled as he closed them, it was one of the most beautiful sights you’d ever seen.

“We have so much to discuss! Did you know One Direction broke up?” You gasped and Joked about how one of your school friends must still be heart broken over it.

The movie was long forgotten as Peter updated you on the world, showing you YouTube clips of award shows and music videos to memes and “vines” which you ended up laughing so hard at some point a lamp went flying across a room when you covered your mouth to control yourself, only making you and Peter laugh harder.

Tony had run in when FRIDAY alerted him of the smash and as he came in the door, almost out of breath, he stopped dead in his tracks at you throwing the clock onto the floor using your abilities and yelling “YEET”. Teenagers were confusing Tony had decided.

“What’s going on here?” The sound of Tony made you and Peter jump with wide eyes realising he had just witnessed you destroying his furniture for meme purposes.

“Mr Stark! Nothing! I was just keeping Y/N company and updating her on the world and stuff” Peter jumped up from the bed as he spoke and his hands moved like crazy to explain things which you noted meant he was kind of nervous.

“Right, Any more of this ‘yeeting’ and I’ll be taking the repairs out of your college fund, how about we leave Y/N to sleep?” Peter quickly nodded and said a quick goodnight to you to which you smiled and nodded in return.

“Wait, college fund?” You heard Peter yell from just outside the door as he chased Tony down the hall from your now sealed door making you laugh again.

The first night in a proper bedroom was different that what you expected. The extra space made you slightly anxious so you curled up tighter in the too fluffy duvet and the mattress felt too soft making you toss and turn. Sleep wouldn’t consume you and so your thoughts had their chance to run wild. They started thinking about Peter and how kind he was to you, someone understanding when you did or didn’t want to talk whilst also just knowing how to calm you down even when he’d barely met you. Your thoughts then drifted to his warm brown eyes that shone when he smiled and the golden flecks became more obvious after he’d just finished laughing and they were slightly glossed over from closing them too tightly and his hair that looked so soft and curled in just the right places to frame his god like bone structure. How could one boy be so.. perfect?

No. No one was perfect and you knew that first hand. You couldn’t hold any feelings for Peter because then it would cause a conflict of interests. HYDRA would take you back and either as punishment make you attack the avengers and get yourself killed or worse, if they found out you liked Peter they’d make you kill him. You couldn’t let your feelings harm yet another person. And so you drifted off hoping for a dreamless sleep.

——-

You jolted awake, a blanket of sweat covering your body as your chest heaved. Your mind raced with the events of your nightmares but every time you tried to shake away the thoughts your mind would always go to the same image. The image of him, and how emotionless his eyes looked.

Malcom often haunted your dreams making you scream out in your HYDRA cell until one of the guards would eventually get tired of your screams and wake you with a bucket of water being thrown over you. But being around Peter and acting the way you were seemed to intensify them and it made you shiver.

You stared at the ceiling for a few more hours until you saw the sun begin to rise and shine some light through the blinds on the windows, you decided two hours sleep was enough for now and got up to have a shower.

After you were clean and dry the automated voice you heard Tony call FRIDAY spoke into your room, making you jump lightly.

“Mr Stark has been alerted that you are awake and has requested you in the Kitchen. Night lock is now unactivated” you heard the door make a click noise which you assume was it being unlocked and you quickly slipped through it, ready to try and adjust to being able to wander freely.

You wondered slowly towards the avengers kitchen, mostly because you were trying to remember your way there as you were too focused on Peter when he lead you from the kitchen to your room yesterday. As you turned what you suspected was the final corner the smell of warm food you couldn’t quite place filled your nose and filled you with nostalgia. The memory of the smell of the food was so distant but your brain automatically switched into childhood glee at the thought of it and for the first time in a long time your back muscles eased up slightly.

As you timidly stepped into the kitchen, making sure your steps were light and unable to be detected, you saw a broad man with a metal arm stood over the stove and his long messy brown hair tied into a bun on top of his head. He turned slightly and your eyes widened at him, from the metal arm you guessed who he was but seeing his face with the light stubble on his jaw confirmed your suspicions. The winter solider was making pancakes.

“Good morning” his voice was gruff and filled with sleep but nonetheless held a cheerful and welcoming tone which let you relax slightly in his presence. From the years in HYDRA you had heard whispers of the legend stood in front of you wearing sweats and a gym shirt, how deadly he was and how for decades he was HYDRA’s greatest weapon. He could come out of nowhere and kill anyone and disappear like he never existed in the first place. You and Malcom used to telepathically tell each other rumours and also made up scary campfire esque stories about the Winter Solider from your cells that were next to each other, helping both of you fall asleep at night whilst also letting your imaginations run wild on something that wasn’t what awful things were going to happen to you next.

“So you’re the floor shaker Tony has adopted?” He put a pancake on a plate and pushed it towards you on the kitchen counter and pointed towards the various toppings and sauces on the island in the middle of the floor.

“I guess I am” you shrugged nonchalantly and took the plate with a small thank you, decorating the pancakes with all the sweet treats you had missed from the years of dull and flavourless food you’d been stuffed with in your cell. Bucky hummed at you again and turned the stove off so that he could fully face you.

With his full body turned towards you he could fully assess you but you could also do the same. You noticed his metal arm had changed and no longer bore the HYDRA star from the photo attached to his photo and also the relaxed nature of his posture. If you didn’t know you doubt you would’ve believed this same man was a HYDRA rat because of just how at peace his eyes seemed. No longer cold and distant but they held a glint of happiness.

“Where’s Mr Stark? The computer said he wanted me here?” You said in between inhaling the pancakes like they were your last meal on earth. Bucky had raised his eyebrows in amusement at how quickly you ate them, not even sure you were swallowing.

“He’ll be here soon, him and Peter are just working on something in the labs” Your heart rate quickened at the mention of Peters name and you thanked all the Gods you could think of that the solider didn’t have super hearing.

“Oh okay” you tried to play it cool and decided against licking the plate clean even though you were very tempted to just to get one last taste of the sweet pancake goodness. “Thanks for the food um...”

“Bucky” he stuck his hand out for you to shake and you cautiously took it but quickly snatched your hand back and placed the plate in the sink and sat back on the barstool at the island to wait for Tony.

“I Uh know what happened with Wanda the other day” this made you direct your attention from the doorway back to Bucky as his stare at you became more determined. “I know transitioning is hard and I’m not going to bore you with me telling you I know what you went through because if I’m honest I don’t, I barely remember what I went through myself so I have no idea what they did to you” Your stare at him didn’t falter and Bucky took that as a sign to carry on.

“Just know that you’re not alone and turning your back on the world is a cop out, I’m not going to take the same crap Wanda did from you so just know that” although his words may have seemed harsh his tone was full of sincerity and kindness that you didn’t have the energy to fight so you simply nodded, not wanting to spill any secrets or step in a grey area. Bucky seemed pleased with your response enough to smile at you and go on to make a smoothie leaving you to listen to the sound of the blender and ponder over your future in this compound and with the avengers. HYDRA was still part of your life no matter how much the avengers tried to convince you otherwise and you knew they’d come for you, nothing was this easy. An unsettling feeling stormed over you and rested on your shoulders like a cloud ready to burst with lightning at any moment.
